These alternatives demonstrated some degree of effectiveness, although not as consistently as our leading choices. Others may find them beneficial, as individual responses to the active components in non-prescription sleep aids vary.

Rebalance Dream Sleep Mints (Melatonin-Free; 31-Pack) priced at $46: These five-time-melting mints without melatonin encompass natural soothing ingredients such as L-theanine, L-tryptophan, GABA, and a slow-releasing Reishi mushroom extract. Up to three lozenges can be consumed each night, and I needed all three to feel relaxed. I appreciate the concept of a mint that melts gradually, though I am also testing the melatonin variant for comparison.

Olly Sleep Gummy for $17: Olly’s popular gummy supplements are trending on social platforms and tend to sell out quickly. The blackberry-mint-flavored treats include 3 mg of melatonin, L-theanine, and various botanicals like chamomile. Although melatonin is generally deemed safe during pregnancy, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider. While my initial experience helped me fall asleep swiftly, the results were inconsistent, leading to a desire to raise my dosage repeatedly.

Kona Sea Salt Deep Ocean Magnesium Water Drops priced at $12: Kona’s offerings feature magnesium sourced from the deep ocean waters of Hawai’i, promoting sleep and muscle relaxation. From the range of products, I discovered the water drops to be the most effective. Only a drop per ounce of water is sufficient. While its advantages include the regulation of sleep patterns, it did not provide consistently robust results compared to others.
